The Importance of Effective Communication in the Workplace
For the longest time, PVC has been causing a stir among boxing fans and people in the industry due to their relationship with WBC and WBA. Many believe that their rankings seem to prioritize anything PBC-related, which is both ridiculous and blatant. They also seem to block many fights from happening, resulting in too many pay-per-view events. Furthermore, several fighters have allegedly not been paid, as multiple boxers, including Adrian Broner and recently Jonte Wilder, have claimed. It’s almost as if PBC is withholding funds from fighters so they can pay other fighters to continue with shows, robbing Peter to pay Paul.
As a result, many fighters have been sitting on the shelf for too long, such as Jamal Charlo, the WBC middleweight world champion, who hasn’t fought in two years but still holds the belt. PBC hasn’t had a proper promoter since Lou DeBella was fired because he arranged for Deontay Wilder to earn $100 million for two fights with Anthony Joshua on DAZN. Consequently, fighters are having to promote themselves, such as Aerospace Jr. and Keith Thurman, who can’t even fight at their preferred weight, even though it was mandated by the WBC. This is most likely due to PBC bias.
Eddie Hearn and Oscar De La Hoya are putting on show after show on DAZN, and PBC can’t compete, especially when DAZN has the likes of Anthony Joshua and Canelo Alvarez, huge superstars. PBC doesn’t have anyone who can rival them, not even close. There are several fighters whom PBC won’t go near that promoters like Barb Aaron and Top Rank have, such as Vasiliy Lomachenko and Devin Haney. Even if PBC fighters could fight these boxers, they won’t because PBC won’t allow it.
Tyson Fury beat the PBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder, twice, and it seems like PBC is backing off boxing again. This may be because Showtime has been paying their fighters way too much money, and anything that’s even remotely interesting is put on pay-per-view, which is absolute madness. PBC can’t even get an Errol Spence Jr. versus Terence Crawford undisputed fight on the line, which should be a straightforward fight to make and a good money earner for everybody involved, but they can’t do it.
It’s not surprising that Stefan Fulton left PBC to go to a Top Rank show to fight Inoue in Japan. It’s a boss move, and even Gerald Washington has left PBC and officially linked up with Malik Scott as his head trainer. Scott also trains Deontay Wilder, so Top Rank has a lot of the US-based boogeymen. PBC doesn’t have any noteworthy heavyweight prospects like Top Rank does, such as Jared Anderson and Torres Jr.
Super Al Hayman needs to come up with a strategy to convince Paramount not to release boxing from their Showtime schedule due to their very poor viewership. Alternatively, he needs to reach out to other financial backers, investors, and platforms that may want to take over boxing. After eight years in boxing, PBC could be out, which would be ironic considering that many PBC fanboys have been praying for the downfall of DAZN, but it looks like their ship is sinking, much like the Titanic. While it’s not desirable for PBC to go down, as more platforms out there, the better it is. However, the fact that PBC puts anything and everything on pay-per-view, and if it goes to a purse bid, they are done.
